Customer Reviews

My screenname is based on these books!

My screename is ADSHP1. Those initials stand for, A. Diadem Score Helaine Pixel 1. They've been my favorite books for three years. My sister is a junior in highschool and every time I get a new Diadem book, she makes me read it aloud to her.(Either that or she reads it aloud to me) Anyway, we both agree that Mr. Peel should write more of these books. Believe me, I will be waiting at the front counter of every book store trying to get more of these when they come. Got to go. Bye!

Excellent Book

I rarely purchase books unless they're used due to the cost. I have actually paid full price for all of these books. I have the entire set and enjoy each one. My son is also reading them and is always looking for the newest one out. These are superb books and can be used in a classroom setting as well as home. The puzzles in the books are good for critical thinking. I highly recommend this series for any child who reads, enjoys magical characters and a good story. The print font makes it very comfortable on the eyes as well.

I AGREE! HOW COULD YOU, MR. PEEL!

Mr. Peel, I hope you read this! Diadem is an awesome book series! The characters are great, the plot is good, you haven't gotten repetative, the use of magic is well done. I'm an author myself and tend to be quite critical, but I love your books! How can you stop writing them? They are very good books. Well worth the read. Please, keep it up! PLEASE!

A really great book

I just loved this book. I read all of the Diadem books and I loved everyone of them. I don't know why he didn't keep writing them. If anyone is thinking of buying this book or any of the others you'll love it as much as I did. It's great for people of all ages. If he started writing the Diadem books again I'd be the first inline to get them. I love to read all kinds of books but I'm still very picky. You won't be disapointed if you get this book.

HOW DARE YOU! JOHN, THIS MEANS YOU!!

I wish John Peel would read this. John, the Diadem series is awesome, and you are one of my favorite authors! You're going down in history, man! But, after all that, don't tell me you got bored or something? I think I speak for every one when I say that, how dare you bring us all this way, introduce us to such great characters, and provide us with such an intruiging and riddle-like story and then abandon it at the height of excitement? Diadem deserves to go down in legend with J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis books!!!! Ok, if you wanted to wrap things up, maybe you could have ended it differently. I mean, I liked the end of #6 for a cliffhanger, but when I found it was the end of all the books, I could not believe it! Why so many unanswered questions!? You can't do this to us, John...
